Chapter 513: 513

The tense situation between Agni-san and Pandora-san was settled with the arrival of Ozma-san .

Pandora-san was brought away by Alice’s clone, and Agni-san was persuaded to leave by Ozma-san .

After sending Agni-san home, Ozma-san slightly bowed to me, scratching his head with a wry smile on his face .

[Well, I’m sorry about that, Miyama-kun . Agni-chan is a good girl, but she tends to get a little hotheaded…… Are you hurt?]

[I’m alright . ]

[I’m glad to hear that . Uncle will properly tell off Agni-chan, so I hope you can continue to be good friends with her . ]

[Yes!]

Hmmm, this calm response…… Ozma-san really is a cool, mature man .

The atmosphere around him makes me feel at ease, as if he’s exuding the warmth of the neighborhood Uncle, and as a fellow man, I admire him quite a bit . I wish I could become a calm adult like him .

[Speaking of which, why is Ozma-san here?]

[Ahh, I’m actually waiting for Miyama-kun on the first floor of the Central Tower…… I felt Agni-chan and Pandora-chan’s magic power though, I thought they might be fighting again . ]

[You wanted to see me?]

[Unnn, well, to be precise, rather than Miyama-kun, I guess it’s better to say that I’m looking for Phantasmal King-sama?]

[You’re looking for Alice?]

Apparently, Ozma-san came to visit Alice for something . If he came all the way to find me so that he could find Alice herself, did something troublesome happen?

I met Ozma-san on the first day of the Six Kings Festival, and even though we hadn’t been acquainted with each other that much, he had given me advice and made a great follow-up at my date with Isis-san, so I want to help him if it’s possible .

[……Actually, one of Uncle’s acquaintances wants to participate in the Six Kings Festival . If possible, I’d like to prepare an invitation for her, but I would have to add her to the list of invited guests to achieve that, so I came to ask for permission . ]

[Fumu…… Is it not possible for Ozma-san to sign this person up as your companion?]

[Ah~~ Errr, come to think of it, I didn’t tell you that . I’m more of an organizer than a participant, so I don’t have an invitation . ]

[I see…… Alice . ]

Ozma-san told me with an apologetic expression, but it didn’t seem like an unreasonable request . No, of course it might be more work for Alice, who would be managing the participants, but at worst, she could sign Ozma-san’s acquaintance as my companion, so I decided to ask Alice for help .

When I called out to her, she immediately appeared and took out an iron-ranked invitation from nowhere .

[Yes, yes, I understand, yes . ]

[I’m sorry for the trouble, Phantasmal King-sama . Errr, her name is……]

[You talking about “that dwarf living in the Archlesia Empire, Flamea-san” . Yes, here’s the invitation . ]

[……Hahaha, well, as expected of Phantasmal King-sama . Thank you very much . ]

Alice has the invitations ready before Ozma-san can even speak the name of the person he’s talking about . Her information-gathering ability is as monstrous as always…… Seriously, as expected of her .

[If you want to thank me, you should go thank Kaito-san instead . To be honest, if you hadn’t requested that through Kaito-san, I would have refused because it would be troublesome . ]

[I see…… Miyama-kun, I’m really grateful . Thanks . ]

[N- No . ]

[I know it wouldn’t be enough to thank you, but won’t you have this?]

[……This is?]

After thanking me with a kind expression on his face, Ozma-san took out a slightly large paper bag from nowhere and held it out to me .

Receiving the paper bag, I tilted my head and looked at Ozma-san who was lighting the cigarette held in his mouth .

[……That’s the coffee Uncle likes . You just add hot water to it and it’s ready to drink . I’ve prepared a little extra for you, so you can have it with your friends . ]

[Thank you! I’m sorry that you had to go out of your way though . ]

[No, no, it was Uncle who suddenly made the request . Really, thank you…… If you’re okay with it, let’s go out for a drink sometime, Miyama-kun . Of course, it would be Uncle’s treat . ]

[Ahh, yes! I’ll take you up on your offer then . ]

Hmmm, I think that Ozma-san, who can say thank you without hesitation, is a really cool adult . Maybe it’s because he seems like a dependable adult, but even the way he invites people looks so cool .

Perhaps, the reason why he didn’t take out the coffee first was that he didn’t want it to be something like an exchange condition?

[Later then, Miyama-kun . I’m sure you have lots of things to deal with, but enjoy the rest of the Six Kings Festival, okay?]

[Yes!]

[Unnn, see you later . ]

With a gentle smile on her face, Ozma-san lightly patted my head before waving one hand as he left . The way he left looked so very picturesque, and even the way his trench coat fluttered in the wind looked super cool .

……Should I buy a trench coat for myself?

[……No, I don’t think a trench coat would look very good on you, Kaito-san . ]

[……I also feel like that was the case . ]

Dear Mom, Dad————– I really admire Ozma-san, not simply because of his good looks, but because of his cool words and gestures . To be honest, I don’t see myself becoming like him at all, but if it were possible, someday, just like him————— I want to grow to become someone cool .

Baby Castella-senpai : [Ozma huh…… He’s a tough one to fight against . However, I won’t give up my position as the number one man who looks good in a trench coat . ]

Serious-senpai : [……No, you’re a freaking castella, aren’t you…… Putting aside the trench coat, you don’t even have a gender, you know!?]
